Description

On Thursday, 1/12, we return to the North Loop with a stop at Inbound Brewing. There will be food, friends and great beer. Looking back at 2016, we saw a lot of things that didn't work for us, our city and our country. This Break the Bubble, we want to know what DID work in 2016--What trends would you like to see continue in 2017?

So wait, this is a singles event right? Or a professional networking thing?

Nope. Break the Bubble is for making friends, pure and simple. You can leave the pick-up lines and elevator speeches at home. Refreshing, isn't it?

What's the format?

Show up

Put on a name tag

Indroduce yourself to someone new

I heard these events have themes. What’s up with that?

Yep. Our events have themes because most of us need a little help kickstarting conversations with people we don't know.

The theme this month is "2016/2017 Trends". On your name tag, we want to know of a trend that worked for you in 2016 that should continue in 2017

For example:

More ramen places in the city

You want to continue traveling in 2017

Sanpchat filters

More Carpool Karaoke

etc...

Be original, be funny, be weird! The point is to give people an intro into conversation with you. And also to make us laugh.

But I'm an introvert who is most comfortable as a wallflower and has problems striking up interesting conversations with strangers. Is this event still for me?

Yes, definitely! Everybody's there to talk to people they don't know. Which means everybody feels a little awkward.

I met someone cool at a Break the Bubble event...now what?

When you're talking with someone you'd like to hang out with again, get their contact info and make a plan to do something! It's as easy as that. (Remember, everybody’s there to make friends so it really is okay to invite somebody to do something!)

Food and Drink

Inbound Brewing is located a few blocks North of the Target Field Station in the heart of the North Loop. There will be plenty of craft brews and a food truck.

Getting There

We highly encourage biking, bussing, ubering/cabbing or carpooling. There is street parking . Download the Metro Transit app for real time transit info as well as other transit options close to you.

Limited capacity

Capacity is limited and tickets sell out fast, which means your spot is highly coveted. For maximum fun-ness, we want as many people as possible to attend, so we ask that you only RSVP if you're actually going to show up.

Help us help you be awesome!

We need your help in spreading the word. Invite your friends, tweet about us, blog about us, post on Facebook, tell your mom about us, etc.

One last question: Where can I get more information about Break the Bubble?
